Default Did I get ripped off? 2012 Headlights

Hey, everyone. I just purchased some headlights for my 2006 IS250 - I tried to find a cheaper alternative than Sewell's loaded and unloaded prices, albeit fair I suppose. Nevertheless, I paid $800 for these + Free shipping. They are OEM and were removed from an IS250 by a Lexus Dealer - I presume they may have minor bubbling, although I'm not sure.

Anyways, what else will I need to "load" them into my 2006 IS250 with halogen bulbs? Do I just need a Xenon Depot HID Xenon kit with Phillips bulbs? Then... plug and play?

Thanks!

you gonna need plug kit cause as i know, nobody sell D4S HID CONVERSION KIT (correct me if i was wrong).
You also need to wire power to the other headlight as well. Look for 2012 LED conversion DIY
in other hands, you need to modify little here and there but nothing big.
Good luck

Here is DIY link:

you're going to need about $100 in parts from dealer...which are
1) Power wires for LEd x2
2) Flasher Relay x1
3) plastic covers

and then your going to need a HID kit in ur case seeing that its completely stripped.

small things nothing too hard

Where can I find these items online? I cannot specifically find them where I expected them to be:

Was $800 fair for both?

Good deal! But those are 2011 lights. 2012+ lights have some subtle differences

Pro-tip: if you take photos of the rear and the bottom of the light, we can tell you what's missing right away to make it just like the Sewell loaded light set.

Pro-tip2: You will need repin the huge blue harness for it to work on a 2006.

Great deal, and keep us posted on what parts you are missing and how the installation went. Because I can get the exact same setup for $800 too ..

Can you post pictures of the other sides of the lights. I can't say for sure what you need without seeing everything.

Thanks.

Great deal man..

The relay you dont NEED if you dont care for Hyper Blinking

overall youre good to go.. do the wiring for the leds and youll be happy.. you can reuse some back covers from your original headlights but Will need some other covers
